Application tiled November 20. 1909.l Serial No. 529.1222A To ai? ywhom it may concern.'

le it known that l. WALTER STEPHEN r-rloii'otsi, a suhjeet of the King ot Great Britain and ireland. residii'xg in Manchesteig County otloaneaster. England7 have in-v Tvented an improvement in Sockets vtor Re tainingthe Spindles or Pins at the Ends of liollers7 of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to spindle supports to. rollers and spools, which7 owing to their functions, frequently require rexnoi'ul from end replacement in their hearings, e. such roliers as are used for window shudes or for 'nerohantahle material suoli as cloth7 paper .or the like.

The object oit' my intention is to produce a spindle support that will facilitate the te moral and replacement oi rollers of the ne ture mentioned shore and which willv he Constructed in suoli inauner that it Will be durable yet salahle at a nominal price. rihis object l. attain in the following` manner7 ref` erenee being had to the uevolnpanying draw ing.l in Whichfc Figure l, is a perspective View of my invention showing the saine out and formed 'troni one piece ot sheet ineiel; Fig. 2, is .a rien* ot the sheet metal blank, eut and ready for forming; 3, is a sectional elevation showing a roller mounted `in the supports; Fig". t, shows e sectional elevation of 4one end suma-orta the spring tongue having been igoreed. beek free ot the spindle; Fig. 5, is a 'eiew of e modification showing the spring tongue'formed of e separate piece.

Referring to the drawings, the construction of my invention is as Jiollows':

fr plate ot' sheet metal l is out so as to Je a central portion Q and tour exten- 3, 4g, trend ti.' The central portion 2 the extension 3 are out as indicated in lines at n und y; the central portion punched orent away at i to torni. le loearing.- hEsch oty the extensions is punched at: to provide means of atnent;

indicated in Fign to the iinished arti- ;Wn in. l, l first bend the exten- :ind 4. on the linesG and l() (shown iiorming my. invention troni the fiat' in dot, Fig'. and thus torni the top and sides. The support or socket. in this state V will have the tongue ot metal 13, which was produced by cutting' on the lines :o und y. running` `purellel with the face vor central portion Q.. The next step is to bend this tongue S toward the face portion Q as Clearly shown in Figs. l and The corners li may hesoldeied to torni a rigid structure.

ln the nioditieation shown in Fig. 5, the spring;` spindle retaii'iin;y tongue 'l5 is shown as a separate pieve troni the liody ot the. socket.

in its usel inyinrention is affixed hy ineans of nails or screws 1G to any desired structure` as shown in Fig; 3; the roller 1T to he supported is then inserted :troni tho topvand so that the spindles 18 pass down the opening 'i9 in the central portion :f2 and iinally rest in the. hearings T. Duringl the lowering` of the roller7 the spring' tongues are pressed rearward by the ends ot' the spindles but are treed and springforward into their norn'ial positions with their ends directly above the spindles as soon :is the spindles reach the journal bearings 7. Thus the spindles are tree 'to revolve in the hearings T hut are kept .from rising; therein. The roller may he reat one end ot seid structure and `closed Tit,- the other end thereof to foi-rn a hearing for the spindle; with a Het spring` tongue tir/ted Within the hollenr structure at 'toe end thereof adjacent the open end of the slot; said spring tongue projecting toward the Closed end otssid siot, het having its extremity ioo spaced away from said closed end to define name to this specication, n the 4'presence of,

an opening for the reception of the spindle, two subscribing Witnesses.

and being in position to enffaffe and normally prevent removal of the pndle vmount- WALTER STEPHEN Aumont' '5 ed in said opening between said extremity VVtnesses:

and the end of slot. THos. PREYSCOTTZ,

In tesfzmonywhereof, I have signed my HARO@ WALKER.
